1959 JD 440 ICD

I am still working on this one. It was in remarkably good condition when I got it. The U/C is really good and the tracks have been adjusted since this picture. I am in the process of making it as original as possible. No alternators, unless I change the gauges to digital! :lol:

That is a nice dozer. Is that a joy stick on it or has it got 2 levers?

Howard,

I feel pretty good since it was my first crawler. I have heard some really bad stories from first time buyers of these.
It has the left and right turning levers. I read where most joy sticks were removed due to mechanical issues. I have never seen a joy stick on one.
Thanks for your comments.
